An involutive Banach algebra is a Banach algebra A which is an involutive algebra and ||a^*||=||a|| for all a in A.

A linear transformation of period two. Since a linear transformation has the form, lambda^'=(alphalambda+beta)/(gammalambda+delta), (1) applying the transformation a second ...

A square matrix A such that A^2=I, where I is the identity matrix. An involutory matrix is its own matrix inverse.

The Ionin-Kharaghani graph is a strongly regular graph on 765 vertices and 73440 edges. It has regular parameters (nu,k,lambda,mu)=(765,192,48,48). It is implemented in the ...

The illusion shown above which was discovered by Helmholtz in the 19th century. Despite the fact that the two above figures are identical in size, the white hole looks bigger ...

A sequence of positive integers {a_n} such that sum1/(a_nb_n) is irrational for all integer sequences {b_n}. Erdős showed that {2^(2^n)}={1,2,4,16,256,...} (OEIS A001146) is ...

An element a of a ring which is nonzero, not a unit, and whose only divisors are the trivial ones (i.e., the units and the products ua, where u is a unit). Equivalently, an ...

An irreducible fraction is a fraction p/q for which GCD(p,q)=1, i.e., p and q are relatively prime. For example, in the complex plane, (4+7i)/(2+i)=3+2i is reducible, while ...

A proper ideal of a ring that is not the intersection of two ideals which properly contain it. In a principal ideal domain, the ideal I=<a> is irreducible iff a=0 or a is an ...

A ring in which the zero ideal is an irreducible ideal. Every integral domain R is irreducible since if I and J are two nonzero ideals of R, and a in I, b in J are nonzero ...
